yes they do whether there was anyone in it at the time or not i dont know. however an old conrail unit SD70MAC Rn 779 came through the shop a few weeks ago it had taken a lightning strike. it did extensive damage to breakers, modules, emdec computer, current transformers, damaged both of the siemens traction control computers, and fried several of the cards in the new york air brake computer i dont know the costs of these repairs however i know they are nowhere nearly as expensive as when they run an SD 60 in the river i have seen that also.
